Embroidery cross: cat. Scheme, description, options

Cats, perhaps, can be considered the most belovedanimals of Russians. Of course, there are many fans of faithful dogs, funny hamsters, smart wavy parrots or unpretentious aquarium fish. However, the admirers of seals become more and more every year. Wayward, but lovely pets find expression in creativity, and in amateur craft. Especially popular is the feline motif among the needlewomen and first of all among the skilled craftsmen to embroider with threads and beads.

Variety of schemes

Few kinds of creativity also excitefantasy, like cross-stitch. The cat, whose embroidery scheme as if invites to start work, increases the mood of the needlewoman even in the process of creating the picture. Here the famous Cheshire cunning smiles, here is a businesslike man from the matchless collection of Margaret Sherry in a smart apron, a tiny kitten curled up in a ball - part of the simplest monochrome design for beginner embroiderers.

The following fact is interesting: domestic developers of sets for needlework prefer cartoon cats, replacing people in everyday situations. These animals go on dates, bake cakes according to old recipes, fish with a fishing rod and knit them, sitting in a comfortable armchair. Indeed, postmodern and related genres embraced not only literature and cinema, but also such seemingly autonomous cultural phenomenon as cross-stitching. The cat, whose embroidery scheme was created by the Russian manufacturer, almost never looks realistic.

On the contrary, foreign developers in mostthey tend to reflect in the design of the real features of animals: a pensive and at the same haughty look, special, unique to cats, and the magnificence of fluffy wool. This is a classic cross-stitch. The cat (the scheme, by the way, often has a small format) almost always stands, sits or lies in its characteristic posture. The exception is separate experimental projects and, of course, inimitable cats from Margaret Sherry.

Breeds

Most like traditional fuzzy: Britons, Persians, Scottish folds. But recently, the increasing demand for cat-sphinxes. This is not surprising, because they are ideal as pets for asthmatics and allergic people suffering from the ubiquitous cat hair. If your hobby is cross-stitch, the cat (the scheme can be both domestic and foreign development) of the Sphynx breed will be an excellent choice as the main plot of the embroidered picture.

For beginners

Animals - quite a complicated theme for embroiderythread or beads, but simplified designs designed for beginner embroiderers can be found in some collections. Is your goal the easiest cross-stitch scheme? Black cat on a white background (monochrome drawing) - the best option: thanks to the use of only one color and a small format of the picture, you will be able to lodge the proud handsome man on the canvas in just one evening.
